Answer 1

Answer:

Now, the reactivity series clearly explains that carbon cannot reduce the sodium, and magnesium due to their highly reactive nature. - Thus, Na, and Mg represents higher affinity towards the oxygen because oxygen is highly reactive and it can easily reduce these metals.

Answer 2

Sodium and magnesium have a higher affinity towards oxygen than that of carbon because these are highly reactive metals. Hence, carbon cannot reduce the oxides of Na or Mg.

Na or Mg are more reactive as compared to carbon.
